Remember the minister's request for non-church people to tell
him what to preach about. Send your friends to www.youtube.com/knoxknotes
and tell them to watch "Please tell me what to preach about."
He is asking for people who do not go to church to tell him what to preach about
over the next couple of months. Go there and watch the video for instructions.
Please direct anyone you know who might be interested in responding to the above
website.
Sermons are now also being posted at http://knoxknotes.podbean.com in text and audio formats. If you go there, you can even subscribe to the sermons and have them automatically downloaded for your MP3 player.
The minister has 3 active comment threads on Reddit. This is the website
where the minister first posted his video to get non-church people to tell him
what to preach about.
Reddit is well known a website, where people can go to go to talk with like-minded
people if you are someone who is an atheist or an agnostic or simply a person
who is not too fond of religion in general.
